quote who="James Wilkinson" Jeff, you might want to subscribe to the UNSW multia-users mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED], with "subscribe multia-users" in the body). Cool! :) Funny tho, I got quite a number of private emails pointing me to the list. Obviously there's some kind of closet Multia users secret society or something, so I won't mention any names. ;) http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~s2230937/multia/ Ooh - this is tops. Telford's is very useful too... I could put an IDE drive in this at some stage if I need more room. Then again, what good is a heater with a 10gig drive? ;) I left it on all day trying to compile a 2.4 kernel. Kinda toasty in here now. Then there's the SRM-HOWTO as well ;) Now that I *have* to read... I feel like such a dope not knowing how to do the simple things again. ;) And yet, that's kinda why I wanted to play with one. Mmmm... Non-Intel. I think I'll have to try an SGI O2 next, I always drooled over them in high school. Or an FM-TOWNS. That would rock.

[SLUG] Complete and utter... Multia
Hi all, So I finally got my hands on a Multia to play with. I've been wanting to fix my Intel/PC-skewed picture of the world for a long time. :) Started following the brillo Multia HOWTO written by Our Gus (he has it up on his, erm, extensive homepage at: http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~gusl/. Soon realised that potato has a spiffy tftpboot.img made especially for this situation, and booted into the installation system with it. A, something I recognise! :D After floundering with BSD disklabels for a bit, I decided to go way simple: a (/dev/sda1): 40M swap (Starting on sector 2) b (/dev/sda2): ~950M ext2 Now, after doing all the configuration and rebooting I get: aboot: valid disklabel found: 2 partitions. aboot: loading uncompressed ... aboot: loading compressed ... unzip: unknown compression method insert aboot help stuff Then, I've tried again (by typing '0' which is listed properly) and I get: aboot: loading uncompressed ... aboot: loading compressed ... aboot: segment 0, 2709256 bytes at 0xfc31 aboot: zero-filling 248136 bytes at fc5a5708 0.0.1: file not found Any ideas? - Jeff -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- http://linux.conf.au/ -- "A rest with a fermata is the moral opposite of the fast food restaurant with express lane." - James Gleick, Faster -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug

Also, I've got a Debian Potato multia install guide (which isn't entirely finished or readable yet) at http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~s2230937/multia/ Though you're using a SCSI disk, this won't be entirely relevant. I've got a link to Telford Tendy's page on mine as well. IIRC, he's got scsi install instructions. Then there's the SRM-HOWTO as well ;) -- "This is not an attack! It is a pre-emptive retaliation."
